king gizzard & the lizard wizard - I can't name the song that the groove is from but I recognize it, it's very memorable. A good, soothing listen, although may overstay its welcome a bit. Just gets blown out by the rest of this pack being super strong.
21 savage - Well 21 Savage is in current events news, so I'm looking at this right away. Takes a while (almost 3 minutes) to get to the good stuff but is quite good once it gets there. Sort of a response to This Is America, huh. Yeah it will be hard not to pick this unless something else here is super outstanding.
Eluveitie - Okay, yes, very good. Sufficient faceblasting and a very nice blend of death/scream and melodic/folk metalstuffs. You'd think this would be a common thing but I haven't heard it much and they pull it off very well.
Metric - Also quite good, I like the high/low contrast. Also surprise Mae Borowski cameo.
Within Temptation - Is fine. A bit slow, I guess that is the idea, but doesn't strike me as much as Eluveitie.
ASAP Rocky - Wow, neat. Definitely the most interesting of the week musically, if not the most directly enjoyable. Though... it's not far down on that metric either, for me, once I listen to the whole thing. Hrrrm. Hrm.
Wow, strong week. Really strong. Started off expecting to just rubber stamp 21 Savage, and then challengers from multiple completely different directions appear. Music exists in context, though, and 21 Savage is subtly very good... I wrestled with putting Eluveitie over it, then Metric, and finally I will succumb to personal appeal and actually do it for ASAP Rocky. But really all of these are great. Top 4 are all in that "should win and would autoslam a weaker pack" range.
ASAP Rocky > 21 Savage > Eluveitie > Metric > gizzard lizard wizard > Within Temptation
